  • Zenos is one of the most iconic characters in FFXIV, and as a result one of the top tier antagonists in the series overall.
    In this video, we learn more about the early life of Zenos, from his birth to the moment we crossed paths in Stormblood.
    Thank you so much for watching this video.
    My channel is focused on player perspective content, gameplay, theory's and importantly game lore for Final Fantasy XIV.
    As this channel has grown, my goals have evolved, but ever do they remain the same.
    That is the creation of videos that mean to bring a smile to a viewer's face or provide them with even one piece of useful information.
    I mean to live up to these goals and the time you have taken to watch my content.

    They never state it but I came to a realization recently. The Garleans would have received the bulk of their language and culture from Emet-Selch. After Zenos triggered the civil war by killing his father then obliterated his own capital with Anima his title was changed from "Yae" (member of the royal family) to "Viator" as a damnation of him and what he had done. This means that the strongest word for traitor in the Garlean language is the word for Traveler...
    Thanks Hades...

    Zenos is my absolute favourite ff14 character and I'm genuinely so happy you took the time to make an essay on him and research his past as much as I did. I miiiight be a bit too smitten by him though, so I'm biased lol. For real though, thank you. This is going straight into my Zenos playlist.
    Subbed 3 mins in. You're amazing and I can't wait to watch more.

      I really enjoyed researching his early life, especially his teenage years and when he joined the army.

      Mothers have a power not even they understand. I'm sure he would have learned compassion, considering ofc she was a compassionate woman herself.

      Seeing how many of the royal families act or behave, I doubt it. The children seemed to be isolated while growing up with their education. Cyd is the only one whose parents seemed to be caring. Tho Garlians seem to have a lot of emotional depth to them. They remind me of crabs. All hard and stiff on the outside and squishy 'n sweet on the inside.

    This was very interesting, thank you! I've long struggled to understand Zenos, never liking him as a character, hating his roll at the end of Endwalker. Been watching videos like this to try to understand why the writers think we all need to get wet when he appears. Still don't really get it, but maybe someday.

      Wasn't that a result of the experiments, especially from the fake echo? Looks like it is explained in the video as an aether crystal embeded into his own flesh.

      He used crystals, something that had a very good chance of killing him, just to win. His golf bag serves the function of charging his blades with aether now.

      For me it's more about everything in between. Zenos is one of my favorite characters, but we don't always need an all powerful being looming over us.
